March Madness..

Investigators worked Monday to determine why a 45-year-old painter busted into a North Carolina nursing home on a horrific shooting rampage that left eight dead and several others injured. One possible clue: the gunman's estranged wife works at the 110-room Pine lake Health and Rehab, where authorities say Robert Stewart shot and killed seven residents — most in their late 80s — and a nurse who cared for them. "We're certainly looking into the fact that it may be domestic-related," said Carthage Police Chief Chris McKenzie. cKenzie said Monday he believed the couple were recently separated, but acknowledged he didn't yet know many more details about her. A neighbor said Stewart's estranged wife is a certified nurse assistant at the nursing home named Wanda Luck, and public records indicate she shared an address with Stewart in Carthage. Several telephone numbers for Luck or her family were dis...

Oxford Today Unfortunately, this is the shit that I get leftover from the previous tenant in the apartment. You think this is symbolic enough? White gloves, earrings, urn, hilary 2009, writing on her head, ect. I learned this from this issue.. Hilary Term is the second academic term of Oxford University 's and Dublin University 's academic year. It runs from January to March and is so named because the feast day of St Hilary of Poitiers , 14 January , falls during this term. All the other terms are dated from this day in the following way: Michaelmas term — 13 Sundays before to 5 Sundays before the feast day of St Hilary Hilary term — 1 Sunday to 9 Sundays after the feast day of St Hilary Trinity term — 15 Sundays to 21 Sundays after the feast day of St Hilary The term originated in the legal system. The Courts of England and Wales divide the legal year into four terms: Hilary, Easter, Trinity and Michaelmas. Previously, this was the only thing I knew about oxford. Build...

Another day, another political cartoon controversy ! This time the center of attention is Pat Oliphant, the world's most widely syndicated political cartoonist, and his recent cartoon depicting a goose-stepping soldier pushing a giant Star of David shark into a defenseless woman and child. In case anyone misses the subtle message here, the woman is labeled "Gaza," and the illustration is tagged "jackboot justice" on the United Press Syndicate site . The cartoon has already appeared on many of newspaper websites, including the New York Times, and last night reporters from CBS 2 fanned out around town to get reactions. Janis Rodin of Kips Bay opines, "It's against Israelis and it says they are attacking Gaza, but there is nothing coming from the other side." But Mohamad Abdoul of Bay Ridge thinks the cartoon accurately conveys "the reality" of the lop-sided war between Israelis and Palestinians: "When I see this Israel, too, power i...
